we had the boat to ourselves- 10 am beautiful trip! friendly guide!!

S
Shaunak – Belgium

The 1 hour boat tour was amazing. The time period was perfect for people with kids. There is a virtual guide in form of the company app. The scenery is magnificent and the ride is very calm. Highly recommended for a short view of the Douro river.

For reference only. Itineraries are subject to change.

Highlights

  • Sail down Douro River on a traditional rabelo boat
  • Start from Pinhão and cruise under the Eiffel bridge
  • Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site from the boat
  • Use a smartphone app for multilingual commentary
  • Admire the valley overlooking vine-covered terraces

Full description

Navigate on a unique river, in the heart of the oldest wine demarcated region in the world and also a UNESCO world heritage site.

You start from Pinhão, pass under the Eiffel iron bridge going up stream until the Roncão area where you turn around and return to Pinhão.

Along the way you’ll see hills of terraced vineyards until the river, with no national roads or traffic in sight. 
Although you do the same stretch up and down, it could very well be a different one, because seeing it in one direction and then on the other creates two completely different points of view and sights. 
The traditional rabelo boats have open and closed areas, so navigation can be comfortably made in all kinds of weather, all year long.

We kindly ask you to download our audio guide (Magnifico Douro - Boat Tour app) to receive geo-localized information about the sights, including wine farms, the wine, the river, and much more. Please bring your own earphones for a more pleasant experience.

Includes

  • Rabelo boat tour
  • Mobile app with geo-localized multilingual commentary
  • Drinks

Meeting point

Magnifico Douro Pier, in Pinhão, near the iron bridge, in front of the Vintage House Hotel garden gate. Enter by the bridge.

Just the right amount of time. Mobile app is easy and doesn’t talk to you constantly so you have time in between “points of interest” to just enjoy the scenery. Boat was well cared for. Sit on the bow if it’s not raining!
